This is a serious question. The matter was settled in 1991 by a tribunal and Jaffa Cakes were officially designated a cake not a biscuit. Now “confusion over the chocolate-covered teacake - a dome of marshmallow on a biscuit swathed in milk chocolate - could cost the British government £3.5m after an EU court adviser said the retailer Marks & Spencer should get a refund of the tax it paid during the decades that tax authorities insisted they were biscuits.” “From 1973 to 1995 the Teacake which has a biscuit base was accepted to be a biscuit and being covered in chocolate was liable to VAT at the full rate. This is the converse of the Jaffa Cake which as a cake gets away with zero rating. However, in 1994 Marks & Spencer successfully got the Teacake reclassified as a cake, and thereby made a claim for all the excess tax they had paid over the last 21 years. A small proportion of that sum was paid out some three years later. Now Marks & Spencer may be closer to retrieving the rest as one EU rule clashes with another, according to Juliane Kokott, Advocate-General of the European Court of Justice. The case will need to go to theEuropean Court of Justice before a decision is made.”

Well the Jaffa Cake is indeed a cake which is why they named called it that. Although the VAT man wanted it to be a biscuit. That way it would fall by virtue of its chocolate coat into a category of products liable to VAT at the standard rate .
